Challenges for SHK wholesalers

Pressure and consolidation on the market are increasing

The sanitary, heating, air conditioning and building technology industry is under high competitive and margin pressure. The boundaries between B2B and B2C are becoming increasingly blurred, and manufacturers are selling their products to end customers themselves. In addition, the shortage of skilled workers in the manufacturing industry is clearly noticeable. Because craftsmen cannot (or can no longer) meet their own demand, this is also slowing down sanitary, heating and air conditioning wholesalers. No wonder that smaller traders are more likely to be taken over by large competitors than to stand up to them.

Digitalize your business processes

Value chains are changing. Meet this transformation with digital procedures. This will accelerate your processes, make them more economical and, at the same time, increase transparency for your customers.

Price opaqueness and shortage of raw materials

The price volatility in the industry – caused, among other things, by shortages of raw materials and supply bottlenecks for important input materials – is also forcing customers to carry out more and more comparisons. Online platforms in particular score points here with transparent net prices compared to the complex price and condition scales of SHK wholesalers. End customers also want to be able to conveniently check availability and delivery times.

Stand out strongly as a group

As a member of industry associations or other cooperations, you benefit from central goods procurement and warehouse logistics, attractive purchasing prices and better conditions. Our integrated solutions ensure smooth processes and greater security of supply.

Increasing competition from online trade

Online platforms are not only competing with SHK wholesalers in terms of price. Digitally, the entire procurement process is simpler – from the availability query to the offer configuration to the order or complaint. This puts pressure on wholesalers in the sanitary, heating, air conditioning and building technology sectors to build up their own digital expertise.

Digital trends in the SHK and building services sector

Climate policy targets and energy efficiency goals make smart grids and buildings indispensable. At the same time, thanks to the rapid development of memory and processor technologies, ever greater volumes of data can be processed. A decisive competitive advantage emerges when we take these trends into account – even if the automation of building technology makes previously typical maintenance and services obsolete.
